Install Notes
Hi all,
I have not actually installed this yet, so this is my best guess. Stay tuned for further feedback. First are Konstantin's notes and then mine. You can, of course, get this from the Download Section of this site.
I have created one single download zip file which includes a readme file and three zip files:
KonstantinKaratzas_Icons.zip
KonstantinKaratzas_Other.zip
KonstantinKaratzas_Sounds.zip
KonstantinKaratzas_Readme.txt
In addition to downloading the KonstantinKaratzas_NapoleonicAndCivilWar.zip file (from the download section of this website), you will still need the original PG2 game and to download the map related files.
